Vancouver Times seems to be some sort of fake news site, but their attempt at satire appears to be just them trolling conservatives with plausible-sounding content. Satire would normally contain an element of the absurd to hint to anyone reading that the story is farcical. Satire would also make some sort of attempt to make some sort of political or moral statement. This is just a liar masquerading as a journalist to try to make conservatives look foolish for repeating his lies. What an asshole.
There's no indication this is satire until the very end of the article when they provide this 'disclaimer'. Since many people have limited attention span, they typically don't read the entire article. To me, this fact is a well known and is being used for a desired outcome. You could say this article is bordering on fraud and could argue that the intent is designed for deceiving those that come across their website.
The funny thing is this could be labeled as a libel/slander publication since the satire fact is so out of view and not obvious it’s fake. There will be a few people out there that take it as 100% fact and Tim hortons could sue or the ceo could sue. Probably not since any association with this kind of allegation is very incendiary and hurts anyone’s image lol. They just don’t get it.
